What is biosecurity

It’s all about stopping pests, diseases, and weeds from harming our plants, animals, and environment — and you can help!

Why it matters

Australia has some of the strongest biosecurity rules in the world. Without biosecurity, our beaches, barbecues, and backyards could be in trouble.

You don’t need a lab coat to help protect Australia - just your eyes and a few smart habits! Here’s how you can be a biosecurity hero every day:

Report weird bugs or sick plants

See something odd? Tell an adult or call the Exotic Pest Hotline:
1800 084 881.

Clean your shoes & gear before visiting farms

Pests hitchhike on dirt and mud—give your boots a scrub!

Never bring fruit across borders

Help protect places like Tasmania and South Australia—leave fresh food at home.
